The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Collard and Anastrozole in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Collard and Anastrozole

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Anastrozole and Collard in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Anastrozole

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Anastrozole is filed under 2 classifications — aromatase inhibitors, oral drugs. Collard has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Anastrozole’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Anastrozole’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Collard. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Anastrozole’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A stroke or mini-stroke Worth acting on
  • Bone thinning Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 51 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Anastrozole. Read the label on DailyMed › Collard’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Collard side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Collard has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Anastrozole Is Prescribed For, and What Collard Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Anastrozole is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Collard is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Anastrozole is prescribed for: Anastrozole (also sold as Arimidex) is used in postmenopausal women to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer at several stages. This includes early breast cancer after surgery (adjuvant therapy), locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer as a first treatment, and advanced breast cancer that has continued to grow after tamoxifen therapy. For the second-line use in advanced breast cancer, women whose cancer did not respond to estrogen receptor (ER) testing or who did not respond to tamoxifen rarely benefited from anastrozole.

Collard has been studied for:

    Collard for breast cancer

    Population research has found that higher intake of cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, Brussels sprout, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, and kale, is associated with a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women, while higher intake of cruciferous vegetables appears to be associated with a slight but statistically insignificant decrease in the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal wo…

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Anastrozole on your own; if you are taking Collard for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Anastrozole

This page covers Collard only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Anastrozole page lists 22 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), 7-methoxyflavone (moderate), Arimistane (moderate), Atractylodes (moderate) and Chrysin (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 12 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Anastrozole page

“Activated charcoal carries the one major rating on the anastrozole (Arimidex) list, because it can soak up the drug in the gut and cut how much your body absorbs. For a medicine that treats hormone-sensitive breast cancer by keeping estrogen suppressed, anything that lowers its level deserves real concern, and I would act on this list…”

About Collard

What is Collard?

  • General nutrition and vitamin source
  • Bone health
  • Heart health support
  • Digestive fiber
  • Antioxidant intake

Collard is a leafy green vegetable in the cabbage family that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and is best thought of as a nutritious food rather than a medicine. Eating it as part of a balanced diet is healthy for most people, but there is little high-quality research on collard as a concentrated supplement. If you take blood thinners or have kidney concerns, talk with your pharmacist or doctor because of its vitamin K and oxalate content.

Brassica oleracea var. viridis · Brassicaceae · Leaves · Fresh or cooked leaves, frozen greens; occasionally powders or capsules

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Collard is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Collard record says about it on its own.

Collard: dosing

There is no established medicinal dose for collard. As a food, it can be enjoyed in normal serving sizes as part of a varied diet, just like other vegetables.If you choose a collard powder or capsule, there is no standardized dose, so follow the directions on the product label.

Taking Collard and Anastrozole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Collard with Anastrozole?
We do not list a known interaction between Collard and Anastrozole. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Are Collard and Anastrozole used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Collard in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Anastrozole is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Collard and Anastrozole combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Anastrozole is filed under 2 classifications, and Collard has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Anastrozole's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Collard interact with any other medications?
Yes. Collard has 86 documented drug interactions in our database — Anastrozole is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Anastrozole interact with any supplements?
Yes. Anastrozole has documented interactions with 22 supplements in our database — Collard is not one of them. The Anastrozole interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
